Product details
Overview
5KP58HE3/54 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional TransZORB® transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in P600 package, designed for high-energy surge protection on DC power rails and signal lines. It features 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs), 60.0–66.3 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 54.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), 57.4 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and clamps to ≤94 V at rated surge - used in automotive power supply outputs and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the 5KP58HE3/54 datasheet, 5KP58HE3/54 pinout, 5KP58HE3/54 application, or 5KP58HE3/54 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, P600 mechanical dimensions, clamping behavior under 10/1000 μs transients, and direct alternatives for overvoltage protection design-in.
Technical Context
This TVS diode employs a glass-passivated P600 chip junction optimized for fast response (<1 ns) and low incremental surge resistance, enabling effective clamping of inductive switching spikes and lightning-induced surges. Its unidirectional polarity supports DC-biased protection paths with cathode-band marking.
Rated for 175 °C maximum junction temperature and qualified to AEC-Q101, the 5KP58HE3/54 sustains repetitive 0.01% duty-cycle surges while maintaining stable VBR drift (0.107 %/°C) and <2.0 μA reverse leakage at 54.0 V - critical for automotive ECU and industrial PLC power rail hardening.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 54.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before significant leakage; defines safe DC bias margin. |
| VBR (min/max) | 60.0 V / 66.3 V at 50 mA - Ensures reliable triggering above normal operating voltage with 5% tolerance. |
| IPPM | 57.4 A (10/1000 μs) - Peak surge current capability determines minimum trace width and fuse coordination. |
| VC | ≤94 V - Clamped voltage during full-rated surge; sets worst-case stress on downstream ICs. |
| PPPM | 5000 W - Peak pulse power rating defines energy absorption capacity per transient event. |
| TJ max. | 175 °C - Enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without thermal derating penalties. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Confirmed reliability for automotive electronics per stress test requirements (HTOL, TC, HAST). |
Pinout & Package
Package: P600 molded epoxy case with matte tin-plated leads; UL 94 V-0 rated; cathode indicated by color band. Dimensions: 9.5 mm × 8.6 mm × 1.32 mm (L × W × H); lead spacing 9.1 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side connection point | Connected to ground or low-potential node; completes clamping path during reverse surge. |
| Cathode | High-side connection point | Connected to protected line (e.g., +12 V rail); color band identifies this terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5000 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs) | Supports robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b and IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surges without degradation. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and body control modules requiring zero-failure field reliability. |
| 0.107 %/°C VBR tempco | Minimizes voltage shift across -40 °C to +125 °C ambient, ensuring consistent clamping in extreme environments. |
| ≤2.0 μA IR at VWM | Reduces standby power loss in always-on systems such as telematics and ADAS sensors. |
| P600 package with JESD 22-B106 solderability | Enables automated reflow and wave soldering at 275 °C for 10 s without delamination or bond failure. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Supply Output | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V battery-fed ECUs from load dump and alternator transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between power rail and chassis ground to clamp surges within 1 ns. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤94 V during 5000 W transients, preventing damage to MCU, CAN transceivers, and analog front-ends. |
Use Scenario: Shielding 4–20 mA or RS-485 sensor outputs from ESD and cable-coupled surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff device shunting induced transients to ground before reaching precision ADC or isolator inputs. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity with <2.0 μA leakage at 54 V, avoiding offset errors in millivolt-level measurements. |
| Switching Power Supply Crowbar Replacement | Telecom DC Feeder Protection |
Use Scenario: Replacing SCR-based crowbar circuits in 48 V telecom PSUs to avoid latch-up and manual reset. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Self-resetting overvoltage clamp that conducts only during surge, then returns to high-impedance state.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMBJ58A-E3/52 | Lower PPPM (600 W), smaller SMB package, same VWM/VBR range, non-AEC-Q101. | Suitable for space-constrained consumer or industrial PCBs where 5000 W surge is not required. | Select when board area is limited and surge threat level is ≤IEC 61000-4-5 Level 2. |
| 1.5KE56A | Same P600 package, lower PPPM (1500 W), VWM = 47.6 V, VBR = 52.9–58.3 V, no AEC-Q101. | Legacy alternative for cost-sensitive designs where 5000 W rating is unnecessary. | Choose only if existing 1.5KE footprint reuse is mandatory and peak surge energy is <1500 W. |
Compared with SMBJ58A-E3/52 and 1.5KE56A, the 5KP58HE3/54 delivers 3.3× higher surge power handling and automotive-grade reliability - essential for protecting safety-critical 12 V/24 V systems where single-event failure is unacceptable.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 5KP58HE3/54 under full-rated surge conditions?
The 5KP58HE3/54 clamps to a maximum of 94 V when subjected to its rated 57.4 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform). This value is measured per JEDEC standards and ensures downstream components experience controlled overvoltage stress - critical for safeguarding 60 V-rated regulators and microcontrollers in automotive applications.
Is the 5KP58HE3/54 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the 5KP58HE3/54 is AEC-Q101 qualified and explicitly rated for automotive use. Its 175 °C maximum junction temperature, low temperature coefficient (0.107 %/°C), and robust P600 package make it appropriate for engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power supplies exposed to harsh thermal and electrical environments.
What does the "HE3" suffix indicate in 5KP58HE3/54?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance. It distinguishes the automotive-grade version from the commercial "E3" variant (e.g., 5KP58A-E3/54), confirming enhanced reliability testing for automotive deployment.
How does the 5KP58HE3/54 differ from standard Zener diodes used for voltage regulation?
Unlike Zener diodes optimized for steady-state regulation, the 5KP58HE3/54 is engineered for transient suppression: it remains high-impedance below 54 V, then rapidly avalanches to clamp multi-kilowatt surges within nanoseconds. Its 5000 W PPPM, low dynamic impedance, and AEC-Q101 validation reflect surge-specific design - not DC regulation capability.
Can the 5KP58HE3/54 be used in bidirectional protection configurations?
No, the 5KP58HE3/54 is unidirectional only, with cathode marked by a band. For bidirectional protection, two 5KP58HE3/54 devices must be connected anode-to-anode (common-cathode configuration), or a dedicated bidirectional TVS like SMAJ58A should be selected - the 5KP58HE3/54 itself does not support symmetrical clamping.
